If you are or were or WISH you could be an author, what in the world would you write.

I can say what I don't write, and that's poetry. 

Use your IMAGINATION and CREATIVITY, there are no wrong answers.

TWO words or more -- ONE genre, title, subject, etc. per comment, but come back here as often as you like.  If you want us to look at an article, PLEASE list it below.

There are plenty of prompts here and on writing.com.

Keep going...
I have some poetry I've written. Would probably do a little humor on being a nurse (there's always something to make you smile with that). Would like to write about past experiences.
I write what I feel, what has happened, and is happening in my life.

why do I write.... I guess the easy answer is that I write to make a living.... but the truth is that I write because I have to.... breathing, eating, paying taxes, writing.... it is just one of those things one must do in life...., I just do not seem to have a choice about it.....

What do I want to write?.... I want to write about the things I know that will be lost to the world when I die, unless I write them.... sounds dramatic doesn't it.... lol... but there are some things I know a lot about, and some of it is original thought and research and the only way I have to pass it on is to write it... a form of immortality.

I also have a fictional world I would like to get down on paper someday.....

Fantasy and Romance, with some blending between the two. I've got two fantasies I want to finish and a paranormal romance that's begging me to put it on paper...
Wanda H. Feb 26, 2008, 10:13pm EST
I write because I have always written. Sometimes a lot, sometimes hardly any, but always something.

I am writing a novel and a mystery right now. Gather has helped me by making it possible for me write everyday. I am writing more right now then ever before and both my books are growing everyday.

My biggest hope and fear is that I will be published! Go figure... want something and be afraid of it at the same time.
Cecile V. Feb 27, 2008, 12:25pm EST
I write because the ghosts of the backcountry call to me to reveal what their lives once were.
